| 20090111148 | IMMOBILIZED MICROBIAL NITRILASE FOR PRODUCTION OF GLYCOLIC ACID - The present invention is directed to a process for improving the specific activity of a dehydrated enzyme catalyst having nitrilase activity for hydrolysis of glycolonitrile to glycolic acid upon rehydration. In particular, a process is provided comprising pretreating an enzyme catalyst having nitrilase activity with glutaraldehyde, immobilizing the gutaraldehyde-preteated enzyme catalyst and chemically cross-linking the enzyme catalyst prior to dehydration. Upon rehydration, the enzyme catalyst exhibits improved specific nitrilase activity as compared to enzyme catalysts having nitrilase activity that are dehydrated and rehydrated without the processing described herein. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090111158 | IMMOBILIZED MICROBIAL NITRILASE FOR PRODUCTION OF GLYCOLIC ACID - The present invention provides a process for preparing an enzyme catalyst having nitrilase activity for hydrolysis of glycolonitrile to glycolic acid with improved retention of recovered catalyst activity in consecutive batch reactions with catalyst recycle, said process comprising pretreating the enzyme catalyst with glutaraldehyde. The glutaraldehyde-pretreated enzyme catalyst has improved specific activity when compared to non-glutaraldehyde-pretreated enzyme catalysts, and thereby, has improved overall catalyst activity and productivity. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100086510 | ENZYMATIC PERACID GENERATION FORMULATION - Disclosed herein are multi-component formulations for enzymatically producing aqueous solutions of peroxycarboxylic acids suitable for use in, e.g., disinfectant and/or bleaching applications. The multi-component peroxycarboxylic acid formulations comprise at least one carbohydrate esterase family 7 enzyme having perhydrolytic activity. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100086534 | STABILIZATION OF PERHYDROLASES - Disclosed herein are enzyme powders comprising a spray-dried formulation of at least one CE-7 esterase, at least one oligosaccharide excipient, and optionally at least one surfactant. Also disclosed herein is a process for producing peroxycarboxylic acids from carboxylic acid esters using the aforementioned enzyme powders. Further, disinfectant and laundry care formulations comprising the peracids produced by the processes described herein are provided. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100086535 | STABILIZATION OF PERHYDROLASES - Disclosed herein is a method for stabilization of the perhydrolase activity of the CE-7 esterase in a formulation with a carboxylic acid ester that employs the addition of a buffering agent, substantially undissolved, to the mixture of the CE-7 esterase and the carboxylic acid ester. Further, disinfectant and laundry care formulations comprising the peracids produced by the processes described herein are provided. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100086621 | MULTI-COMPONENT PERACID GENERATION SYSTEM - Disclosed herein are multi-component peroxycarboxylic acid generation systems for enzymatically producing aqueous formulations of peroxycarboxylic acids suitable for use in, e.g., disinfectant and/or bleaching applications. The multi-component peroxycarboxylic acid generation systems comprise at least one carbohydrate esterase family 7 enzyme having perhydrolytic activity. | 04-08-2010 |
